Living Naturally - Natural Health and Skincare
Today's lifestyle leaves us open to a daily chemical assault,
from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and the skincare
and haircare products we use daily.It is not known what the
long-term effects of these chemicals will be, but one thing's
for sure, it can't be good.
Some people are unaware of the huge amounts of additives in
their food, water and personal care products. Some are too busy
to care, and others have the attitude ' Yes I know, it's awful,
but what can you do?'
The informed, wise people out there though, are taking a
different view. Any species that fails to live in harmony with
it's natural environment will eventually make itself extinct.
Fact. It's nature. If human beings carry on the way they are
going, they will indeed end up extinct..
For instance, 100 years ago, cancer affected approximately 1 in
every 50 people. Now it strikes 1 in 3. It won't be long before
it is striking half the population. It doesn't take a genius to
realise that our lifestyle is the biggest factor influencing
this increase.
Diet especially, is of paramount importance when it comes to
maintaining good health, but so many people ignore this fact and
fill their ( and their kids) bodies with low-nutrient , chemical
and additive filled junk.
When people eat meat, they are consuming the same chemicals and
hormones that the animal ate. Obesity is on the sharp increase,
and it's not surprising considering that the majority of obese
people are big meat-eaters. They eat the meat, the meat is full
of growth hormones and chemicals, the growth hormones are
absorbed into the human body, so the person gets fatter. Want my
advise - if your are overweight and seriously want to lose
weight - go vegetarian.
If your body had a choice, it would ask for lots of fresh
organic fruit and vegetables, preferably raw. Your body would
choose clean , fresh water ( I mean pure bottled spring water,
not the sewege that comes out of your tap at home). Think about
how much fresh water you consume in a day, and by that I mean
water not mixed with squash, tea , coffee or anything else. I
bet it's not much. Do your body a favour, next time you reach
for the coke, reach for the mineral water instead.
Tap water is just another way that we are being poisoned on a
daily basis. It contains chemicals, hormones and in a lot of
areas it also contains flouride. Yes, sodium flouride , that old
favourite. The stuff they put in toothpaste is the same stuff
they use to make rat-poison ! Surprised. What people get
confused about is calcium flouride, which is the stuff naturally
found in water which helps keep our teeth and bones strong.
People think this is what goes into toothpaste and the water
supply, wrong.
Sodium flouride is a by-product of aluminium smelting and other
industries. It's nothing more than toxic waste. For years it was
very expensive to dispose of, until someone decided to make up
some rubbish about it being good for our teeth, so they could
get away with disposing of it in our water supply. This of
course was done without public agreement. Nice, thanks for that,
I'll stick to the bottled stuff.
Sodium flouride builds up in the body over time, and causes
cancer, it makes bones softer so they fracture more easily, and
it doesn't protect your teeth, in fact it has the opposite
effect. Sodium flouride is a main ingredient in anesthetic,
hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs (Prozac, for example) as well as
military nerve gas. Sodium flouride promotes mental
disturbances. The Nazi's added it to the water supply at the
concentration camps during the war, to help sterilize the
prisoners and force them to be calm and submissive.
Sodium Flouride has a poisonous and narcotic effect on a certain
area of the brain, which makes the person submissive and less
able to resist those who wish to control him. It's a way of
controlling of the masses. Hmmm, makes you wonder what the
government have in mind for us today.....
When we look at the skincare and haircare products we use daily,
most contain sodium laurel ( or laureth ) sulfate. This is a
foaming agent which is so harsh that it was first used as engine
degreaser! Fancy that, washing your skin and hair in something
harsh enough to strip oil off a garage floor. No wonder we're
all spending a fortune on moisturisers! Hmmm, am I just paranoid
or do you think there could be some method in their madness......
So they put this SLS in your shampoo,shower gel, bath foam,
toothpaste etc, and then add moisturising ingredients to the
same products to counteract the drying effects of the SLS. Why
not just buy products without SLS? That's what the smart people
are doing. That's what I do.
Since I stopped using commercial shampoos and skincare products,
and switched to all natural skin care products, and natural hair
care products, my skin and hair are gorgeous. My hair that was
once frizzy and dry is now curly and shiny.
Since I began using organic, aromatherapy based skin care, my
skin that was once so shiny from all the grease and additives
from my previous moisturiser, is now so soft , much younger
looking, and I don't need powder or foundation because my skin
is great!
I use non-flouride toothpaste, and I take vitamin and mineral
supplements every day. I eat organic fruit and vegetables only,
I drink only bottled water, I am vegetarian so I eat a very
natural , low fat diet, that's full of nutrients. I have never
felt so healthy.
If you value your body, your health and your life, as well as
those of your children, you owe it to yourself to change your
lifestyle right now.
